Have a look through the HTML/XHTML and CSS tutorials on http://www.w3schools.com/. It covers all of the basic stuff and is a really good resource that I, as a software engineer / web developer, and many of my colleagues will refer back to.

If you decide you don't want to do it yourself then drop me a PM

Website design is quite difficult to teach via a forum. There are tow main issues that people struggle with. First theres the actual design on their pc,then theres the whole business of getting it all on the remote server and making it work.

I'm fortunate in that i have Dreamweaver CS3 which makes it all work oh so easy.

The right web design software helps an aweful lot. What are you using?

What do you want to change to them?

You should be able to find some freebie editing software if you google and that may assist as long as you know how to ftp it and make it work server side.
